Geometric Determination of the Proton Charge Radius and Mass from a Discrete Triad Binding Model

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate if the proton charge radius and mass can be derived from a unified geometric framework.
Developed a discrete triad binding model for the proton.
Formulated the governing assumptions for the model.
Derived principal relations relevant to the proton's properties.
Compared derived values against established standard reference quantities.
The model provides a framework suggesting potential values for proton charge radius and mass.
Comparison with standard references indicates alignment with expected quantities, supporting the model's validity.

Abstract

This preprint presents a discrete triad binding model for the proton and examines whether proton charge radius and proton mass can be recovered from a common geometric binding structure. The manuscript develops the construction, states the governing assumptions, derives the principal relations, and compares the resulting values against standard reference quantities. This work is shared as a public preprint and has not been peer reviewed.
